Yea no...Marcus Sasser, Jalen Pickett, Kendric Davis, Markquis Nowell, Darius Mcghee at Liberty.Probably some other advance stat arguments for Reece Beekman, one of the Tennessee guards, and maybe even one purdue guard if we get nerdy.Heck I would have Kam over Tyler. Tyler has been the best player the past 5 games but this is a huge overreaction.
Love KamBut Kam over TK on any sort of "all team" whether its BE or america is insanity. And it wont happen.Barring some insane run by Kam starting Sunday.
In conference games only, amongst players with 20% or more usage, Tyler is the #1 player in Orating. Kam #7.
I think he has too much scoring ground to make up to be an All-American pick. I hope he's at least honorable mention. I will agree to disagree with you about Tyler/Kam. Voters will value Kolek's assists, and most will have watched Marquette play several times, so they will have seen how Kolek makes the nation's #1 offense go. I believe the All-Big East and BEPOY voting will put Tyler ahead of Kam, perhaps well ahead of him. If I end up being wrong about that, I will happily tip my hat to you.
@$@*! , I bought tickets to a game on Saturday!
ShooterIf they make noise in March, which I expect, and return the guys next year I think they will be top 5 going into next season.
Gonna enjoy the season. Last time we had that mindset we didn't know the team had taken an elective in letter writing.
Probably right about the voters.But Kam No Kolek is a better lineup than Kolek No Kam, so far this year. 30.1 Adj. Net Rating vs 19.2. Marquette somehow stays insanely efficient without Kolek and with Kam. With Kam they have a lower turnover rate.Better on Defense and Offense. This is surprising because i think Kolek is a better defender than Kam. Plus the Kam Lineup defends the three better (my guess as to why is i bet Joplin is in with Kolek and not Kam). It becomes more Kam centric and i would be concerned if it happened all of the time, but Kam's impact is probably larger on this MU teams than Koleks. Its just probably a bad time to say this because Kolek is on a heater and could easily stay on one and flip this in 1 or 2 games.
Kolek and Kam…Fire and Ice

This is where advanced stats fail. Kam is extremely valuable to the team, yet you take Kolek off this team and we are probably a 40-70 ranked offense.
Darius Mcghee is not a point guard. He is averaging 2.8 assists a game. His two high major opponents (Nothwestern and Alabama), he has 0 assists.And he shot 9-29 in those games.Agree on the others though. But success of the team may put him past a few of those.
Thanks for that link. I especially liked this paragraph, and agree with it wholeheartedly:I firmly believe that if he played for a team like Villanova, Duke or Kansas, there would be a bigger national conversation about his standing among the nation’s best point guards. Maybe even some debate over his status as an All-American. He is that good, and it’s time we started appreciating that.
Preseason all American next year 82! Book it!
My heroes are something different than 18-22 year old athletes.
